The project is a joint-venture between California-based Ambassador Air Group International LLC (AAGI) and a local Sri Lankan carrier.

AAGI managing director Scott Robinson told the Ceylon Today newspaper that LotusAir would commence operations during the third quarter of 2018.

Backed by USD100 million in start-up capital, Lotus Air will serve twelve towns around Sri Lanka, including Colombo Ratmalana, Mattala, Palali, Sigiriya, Katharagama and Trincomalee China Bay, before expanding to India and the Maldives.

Robinson did not specify what fleet type would be used.

According to the ch-aviation schedules module, Cinnamon Air (C7, Colombo Int'l) currently offers extensive coverage of the domestic Sri Lankan market serving ten towns around the island with a fleet of Cessna (single turboprop) (Grand) Caravan (Amphibians).

Maldivian (Q2, Malé) will launch flights to Hambantota and Colombo Ratmalana in Sri Lanka, becoming the first carrier to offer international services to either of the airports, Sri Lanka's Daily News has reported.

The Chairman of Airport and Aviation Services Sri Lanka (AASL), G.A. Chandrasiri, said that flights will be launched "soon", without disclosing any further details. He added that the Sri Lankan government was in talks with a "large number" of foreign airlines interested in serving Hambantota.

Hambantota, an airport in southern Sri Lanka, was built as a flagship project under the orders of the former strongman president (and the current prime minister) Mahinda Rajapaksa. Dubbed "the world emptiest airport", Hambantota failed to attract any sustained large-scale traffic. The greenfield project was supposed to kickstart the economy in Rajapaksa's home district and was almost entirely financed by the EXIM Bank of China. The nearby Hambantota Harbour was also financed by China and is currently leased to Chinese investors. In 2018, flydubai ended its services to Hambantota via Colombo Int'l. Since...

The new government of Sri Lanka will not seek to privatise SriLankan Airlines (UL, Colombo Int'l), Minister of Industry, Export, Investment Promotion, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Prasanna Ranatunga, said while visiting the flag carrier's maintenance facilities.

Ranatunga appealed to management and labour unions at the airport not to repeat the mistakes committed under the previous government which took the carrier to the brink of collapse, the state-owned News.lk portal said.

Ranatunga took office as a member of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's cabinet following the election of his brother, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, as President during the November 2019 polls.

The Sri Lankan flag carrier has been wholly-owned by the government since 2008, when Emirates (EK, Dubai Int'l) sold its 43.6% stake back to the state. In 2017, US-based investment firm Texas Pacific Group (TPG) was in talks to acquire a 49% stake but pulled out after a due diligence revealed the true extent of the airline's debts. The previous government had floated divestment in 2018 and 2019 but ultimately did not launch any formal sale...
